For sale is a very rare signed baseball that I recently obtained from RR Auction two months ago. Catalog #395 (authenticated by Steve Zarelli as well).

It was signed (very rushed) in person on 6/26/95. The consignor stated that Neil Armstrong signed the ball at the clubhouse at the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He was a participant there in the Youthlinks Indiana Charity Golf Tournament, put on by the Indiana Sports Corp.

He remembered asking him personally to sign the ball and he looked dead at me and said "I'm not a baseball player." and walked past me. I walked back to him and said "yes sir, I know that and I know who you are... this ball is round and represents the moon to me." He smirked, grabbed the ball aggressively from my hand, signed it, and plopped it back in my hand with a look that I took as "don't ask again!"

It is very evenly toned throughout.

Anyway – I have some additional repairs to make due to damage from Superstorm Sandy and since I mostly collect signed baseballs from world leaders - this will have to go.

Price is exactly what I paid for it — $4,495.85 — I have original receipt.

I am negotiable on price.

This baseball is still available if anyone is interested.

Let me guess, Randy...your wife found out how much you paid for it and hit the roof? (I've been there before.)

Either that or he crashed a motorcycle into an ice cream truck. Not been there myself, but it happens. What is the going price right now?

This very rare item is still available.

I need to make some additional repairs due to Sandy storm damage here on Long Island.

I am negotiable on price.

Just browsing the Grey Flannel catalog... some amazing eye candy for sports fans and a gorgeous catalog.

They don't seem to have much by way of space or history. Hope enough eyeballs are seeing your ball.
